If you are new to birding and want to get out in the field with some experienced leaders, or if you are new to Calgary and want to see where to find the birds here, or if you just want to get out with a group of friendly birders and enjoy what you find, the Friends of Fish Creek birding course is for you!
These popular outings have been going for many years now, and there are hundreds of Calgarians that go out every week to learn about birds. The groups go to a variety of birding hotspots in Fish Creek Park and in other parts of the city. Pick a day of the week and register to join! Outings begin the week of September 2!

Hi! Just wondering if we are given enough time to photograph the birds we see!
Yes, many participants bring cameras. Photography is not the primary objective, though, so you may not have as much time as you’d like. But the pace is slow and they do try to accommodate photographers and teach about the ethics of bird photography.
